Checking out a digital screening of Shadow In The Cloud on Sunday as part of the virtual Toronto festival:quote:During World War II, pilots of the Allies’ various air force women’s auxiliaries were called upon to ferry planes from factories to airfields — sometimes through enemy territory, often without proper navigational tools or ammunition. Writer-director Roseanne Liang pays pulpy tribute to these veterans with Shadow In The Cloud, a rip-roaring action/horror hybrid that finds one such airwoman, WAAF officer Maude Garrett (Chloë Grace Moretz), assigned under mysterious circumstances to a rickety B-17 Flying Fortress, where she is custodian of a strictly classified piece of cargo. Forcibly sequestered by the all-male crew to a ball turret hanging from the belly of the bomber, Garrett’s dizzying new-found perspective brings to light yet another unexpected passenger — one whose stealthily sinister presence may jeopardize the lives of all aboard.

Basebf555 posted:After reviewing my list from last years October Challenge, I see that I only watched 2 Hammer films. I had a feeling that was the case because as October approaches I was starting to feel that Hammer itch and it's now been almost 2 years since I've watched some of these great movies. Shudder has Countess Dracula and The Vampire Lovers, which both star Ingrid Pitt and are therefore worth a look. Vampire Lovers is the better of the two, and also has Peter Cushing. They also had and might still have Twins of Evil, which is good; Hands of the Ripper, which is fine; and Vampire Circus, which is weird and cool. Plague of the Zombies is dope, The Gorgon is good, The Reptile is pretty good, The Witches is an interesting if not super successful folk horror. Captain Kronos is a fun, swashbuckling vampire jam. I dunno, I pretty much always like Hammer. Even when they’re bad, there’s something interesting going on

Antifa Turkeesian posted:Is Children of the Stones reasonably in the realm of horror? I kind of want to do a folk horror theme for part of Halloween this year, as I've never seen Wicker Man. From what I've seen, Children of the Stones is unsettling in that blurry, synth-drone, sunlit way that everything from the 70s is unsettling, but that can be deceptive as far as content. Yes, it is, and it owns.

Part of what really makes the music work for the movie is the understanding that it's set in 1983. From the announcement: quote:Sacred Bones has announced an album by Jeremiah Sand, the fictional cult leader and main antagonist in the 2018 Nicolas Cage movie Mandy. Lift It Down, described as a psych-folk record, is out October 30 and includes liner notes by the late Genesis Breyer P-Orridge. Check out a video featuring “unearthed footage” for the first single, “Message From the Mountain,” below. quote:A Sacred Bones representative asserted to Pitchfork that there is no known information about who is behind the recording but that it is a stand-alone release separate from Mandy.

Looking at the movies I have lined up for the October challenge, I've accidentally got a good spread of movies from 1932 to now. The biggest gaps are I have no movies from 45-53, and no movies from 76-92. I just gotta plug those holes.

Here's a few Dead of Night (1945) Abott & Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) The Thing ('51) Godzilla ('54) Rear Window ('54) Them! (1954). Creature from the Black Lagoon ('54) Dead of Night was a huge hit last challenge, surprisingly. It's an anthology film, and they're all solid stories. I'd fill in some gaps from '75-'93, but that's basically the biggest deluge of horror films in cinematic history, so, uh, it'd be a long list.

Halloween Jack posted:Well yeah, we evolved from Neanderthals and other "archaic humans," and they continued living alongside us until they died out. Since then there have always been legends of some more primal and bestial race living just beyond the areas we've cleared and cultivated.  While Homo Sapiens Sapiens does posses some Neanderthal DNA, Neanderthals and Denisovans were separate species. We evolved along side them and then drove them to extinction. The fact that most people have some Neanderthal or Denisovan DNA, is proof that given the chance, people would probably gently caress Bigfoot.

drrockso20 posted:Well I'm leaning more towards the idea that there used to be some big hairy ape men roaming the wilds of the world that inspired various legends but they probably went extinct centuries or millennia ago Halloween Jack posted:Well yeah, we evolved from Neanderthals and other "archaic humans," and they continued living alongside us until they died out. Since then there have always been legends of some more primal and bestial race living just beyond the areas we've cleared and cultivated. The thing is, though, that you don’t need some ancestral trace memory in the collective unconscious or whatever; humans are already primed to see human faces with their poor night-vision and so-on. More importantly, a focus on the commonalities between cases (with the expectation that those will point to some underlying truth involving a singular entity behind it all) paves over what are often wild differences - especially in so-called “high strangeness” encounters, where the Bigfoots are reported to walk through walls, glow, shapeshift, teleport, etc. (See “Where The Footprints End: High Strangeness and the Bigfoot Phenomenon”.) An acknowledgement of ‘high strangeness’ leads to an unavoidable conclusion that Bigfoot is either an extradimensional alien supercreature or, as noted before, that Bigfoot exists purely as a cloud of contradictory images - and those images simply don’t predate the existence of photography, of mass media, and of ignorance about how those work. The (mis)interpretation of jpeg artifacts as evidence of shapeshifting, for example, would not have occurred without the advent of the jpeg.

Episode 1 is a real kick because outside of the opening scene, I felt like it was going to go for this really subtle vibe with the Lovecraft stuff. I enjoyed it, but was ready for this nice slow burn of a series. Five minutes later, they're in the Evil Dead cabin and have to kill a Deadite.

I watched and loved the first episode of Lovecraft Country with my partner and we recommended it to her parents only to get a call later saying there's an anti semetic trope in the third episode that hurt and disgusted them to the nth degree. I looked into it and it seems an evil character who kidnaps and performs experiments on children is called Hiram Epstein. AND THEY CHANGED HIS NAME FROM THE NOVEL!? The antisemitic trope of blood-libel (killing the children to make matzos) isn't that well known but the torture/experiments on Jewish children during the Holocaust didn't cross any writer/show-runner/producer/HBO executives mind? I know it's horror and it's designed to be upsetting but this sounds pretty harmful (I'm refusing to commit to a full judgment without actually seeing it yet). We're still going to watch it, it feels like they must have just changed the character name to make a half-arsed reference to Jeffrey Epstein and weren't trying to be antisemitic but it just goes to show how a little thoughtlessness can totally ruin the experiences of marginalised people even in a show as progressive as Lovecraft Country.

Killer Queen is pretty good! It’s definitely broader and more over the top than the original Babysitter, both for better (gory kills) and for worse (jokes that don’t land)
